Many of us are trying to incorporate more protein in our diets; this could be for health or for weight loss. Low carb, high protein diets are still some of the most popular diets out there. One of the easiest ways to add protein to your diet is with protein powder. Protein powder can be simply added to regular food, and of course why not choose chocolate protein powder. You can add it to oatmeal, shakes, pancakes, and so much more. Below are 3 recipes using chocolate protein powder. Two of the recipes also have sugar free instant pudding which is a great low calorie way to add sweetness to your treat. The sugar free pudding also adds thickness to your protein shakes. The amount of protein may vary for your recipes. For these recipes I used a powder that had 24 grams of protein per scoop.

Directions:
1. Combine the protein powder and pudding in a mixing bowl.
2. Whisk in the almond milk until combined.
3. Pour evenly into 4 small bowls or cups.
4. Refrigerate until firm. Note that this will not be quite as firm as regular pudding, but tastes close to the real thing.
